Local picture
El Cajon housing, by the numbers
Point2Homes' census-based figures put El Cajon's median construction year at 1974, and MapOfZipCodes data shows the 1970s as the city's most common building decade. Only 41.3 percent of homes are owner-occupied, so a large share of the doors we service are in rental homes.
Doors of that age tend to arrive on our dispatch board with several issues at once: an extension spring past its life, rollers worn oval and an opener with no battery backup. A single visit can address all three, and on El Cajon's many rentals, converting to torsion springs is a common safety upgrade.

Yes. We coordinate access with tenants, price the work before it starts and send owners a clear summary of what was done.
Yes. Rolling steel, sectional dock, high-speed and fire-rated doors, with after-hours dispatch for doors stuck open or shut.
